Re: compiler error

[David Sugar]

The problem appears principly to be with sigwait.  We go through a lot 
of problems with determining if bsd or posix style sigwait is being 
used, and sometimes both versions exist and the correct one is selected 
by specific compiler defines.  This type of problem is parcularly been 
troublesome on Solaris.  The issues with pthread_create can be resolved 
by re-casting, though some platforms are fussy about being certain that 
the C function which is invoked through create is a "extern C" because 
they use different calling conventions or stack frame arrangements in c 
vs c++, and some prefer otherwise.

When we tested solaris 9, it was with gcc.  The sunw compiler may well 
set some specific defines that do effect which version of sigwait you 
get out of the solaris headers, and hence chooses one different than 
what gcc gets...
